- I used to live in Trawna, and was a member of OSFiC. I have the
- pleasure and priviledge of knowing Esther Rochon, and have translated a
- couple of her short stories into English. I've tried to market them, but to
- no avail. A few stories of hers have been published in English; I
- don't know which, unfortunately.
- I noticed that a book (The City something)
- by Elisabeth Vornarberg, another Montreal author,
- has gotten very good reviews in Anglophonia.
- Could you recommend a couple of Canadian authors that write
- distincly Canadian science fiction? (As if I didn't
- have an Everest of books in my house to read...)
